Loikaw Airport

Loikaw Airport (VYLK) is a medium airport in Loikaw, Myanmar (Burma). Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VYLK or IATA code LIW. It sits in Asia.

Loikaw Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Loikaw Airport lies at 2,940 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Asia/Yangon. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
